IB Theory of Knowledge (TOK) HL Theory of Knowledge Example

The student chose a prompt that allows a clear and coherent comparison across all three objects.

Each object is clearly distinct and grounded in a real-world context rather than remaining generic.

The student's commentary stays focused on the same central knowledge question throughout the exhibition.

The student makes several strong attempts to connect the objects to interpretation, certainty, and personal knowledge.

Some sections become more descriptive than analytical.

A few claims about cultural, historical, or mathematical ideas would be stronger with more precise attribution.

The worked mathematics example is not fully clear, which weakens the credibility of that section.

At times, the commentary could distinguish more carefully between truth, meaning, interpretation, and personal experience.
